THE SET THAT NEVER WAS
The final set of Skybox E-X 2000 is finally here. In the 1990's, Fleer introduced to the collecting world the Skybox E-X 2000 brand through the release of sets for basketball (1996-97), football (1997) and baseball (1997). Featuring stellar designs and innovative card constructions, these sets were very popular amongst collectors and are now considered by many to be iconic.
There was one intended set that never made it to the market. Upper Deck is excited to announce that it's filling the gap with the late-2024 release of 2023-24 NHL Skybox E-X 2000!
WHERE THE PAST COLLIDES WITH THE FUTURE
2023-24 NHL Skybox EX-2000 sports a 150-card Base Set featuring 100 veterans and 50 rookies. There will be seven different levels of Credentials parallels, from the Credentials parallel #'d to 499 to the 1-of-1 VIP Credentials parallel. This release also includes classic inserts such as Net Assets, Hall or Nothing, and E-Xceptional, alongside new innovative sets like Index Movers and Reverberation.
DOUBLE HELIX HUNT
Another new insert to search for is the case hit, Double Helix. This set features an impressive checklist consisting of current stars, top rookies and retired legends printed on stylish foilboard. There is also an even more elusive Gold parallel to chase!
WHO DOESN'T LOVE HARD-SIGNED AUTOS?!
Collectors will surely want to be on the lookout for a variety of hard-signed autograph cards, starting with the legendary Autographics set, which includes on-card autos from stars and top rookies. More hard-signed autograph cards are available via the Speckled Auto and Gold Speckled Auto parallels of the Index Movers and Star Date 3000 sets!
BOX BREAK
